Love Was The Magic

LOVE WAS THE MAGIC - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

 

Your trembling knees as you stand right in front of me

Hiding the lies with your usual rules

This is a pivotal scene that makes or breaks dreams

Let the light of your dark heart guide you

 

I throw questions at you because I don't want the answers

I'd rather they break when they miss you and hit the wall

I smell it on you and it lingers in the room

Don't cry - your tears are forbidden to fall

 

Love was the magic that held us together

Lust was the poison that broke both of our hearts

Love was the magic through all other endeavors

Your weakest of moments tore us apart

 

To never see it coming is the wickedest bullet

Deception is always given birth to the dumb  

I slay all the anger because you know if I didn't 

It would kill me, and death isn't fun

 

I never said I'll stay so stop wording your ears

I'll slice both of mine off to the bone 

My shadow stands tall in the face of its fears

Of living in this world so cold and all alone

 

Now everything is wrong

 

Love was the magic that held us together

Lust was the poison that broke both of our hearts

Love was the magic through all other endeavors

Your weakest of moments tore us apart

 

Love was the magic that didn't last forever
